IMPROVEMENT IN HEATING STOVES.

TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that we, Jonu Maarrno, Jacon Bnrsnnr, and JOHN Conan-1, all of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, have invented certain Improvements in Stoves; and we do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description oi the same, reference being bad to the accompanying drawing, and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

Our invention relates to iln 'irovements in that class of cheap stores in which the body or fire-pot is made of cast iron, and of an oval or egg shape, and into which the fuel is introduced from the top; and our improvements consist of a cast-iron body or fire-chamber, surmounted with a. cap, and the latter with a cylindrical casing containing an even, so that the entire stove is an economical disseminator of heat, and a cheap and serviceable cooking stove for small families, for the cabins of vessels, and for other places where a more costly store would be out of place.

In order to enable others skilled in the art to make and use our invention, we will now proceed to describe its construction and operation, On reference to the accompanying drawing, which forms a part of this specification Figure '1 is a front view of our improved stove.

Figure 2, a vertical section on the line 1-3, fig. 1.

Figure 3, a vertical section on the line 3-4, fig. 2; and

Figure 4, a sectional plan on the line 5-6, fig. 2.

Similar letters refer to similar parts throughout the several views.

A is the bottom plate of the stove, to which are secured suitable legs, a a, and on this plate rests the circular base I) of the body 13. l is the grate, beneath which and within the base I) is the ash-chamber E, and in front of the latter is a suitable door or detachable plate, (I. To the top of the body B is secured a cap, F, within which is the smoke-chamber G, the top plate 0 of the latter havinga hole, f, for receiving a boiler or other culinary utensil. The cap F has in front a projection, 71, to which is hinged a door, 1', the latter being adapted to an opening through which the fuel is passed into thebodyl; of the stove. To the cap F is fitted the lower end of the cylindrical casing H, the top 7' of which. has circular boiler opening, it, the whole being surm eunted with a detachable cover, 721.. The interior of the casing H is separated, by a horizontal partition, 12, intoan uppercompartment, J, and lower compartment, K, the latter being an oven and the former a fine, both of which communicate with an exit pipe, jl. Vertical partitions, r r separate the oven K from the vertical llucs L L, (figs. 3 and-4,) these lines forming communications between the smoke-chamber G in the cap F and the flue J; Suitable valves or dampers may be situated at the point where the oven communicates with the exit opening 1), and where the latter communicates with the line J. Access is bad to the interior of the even through an opening in front of the same, suitable curved doors, 1, being arranged to slide in grooves in front oi" this opening. The body of the stove is of an oval or shape, and at its largest- (liaineter there is a belt, 1', on which res ri ilp Ab ve this plate the body is so constructed as to have a number of ilatsidcs, against which can be placed the faces of a number of sad-irons. .lielow the belt 2' the body of the stove gradually assumes a cylindrical form, the form best adapted for resisting the eli'ccts of the heat, which is most intense immediately above the grate D. It will thus be seen that the upper portion of the body of the stove is utilized as regards its applicability to receive a numberot' sad-irons without impairingthe. utilit and durability ot' the lower portion, as the casingbf thc fire-chamber. The chamber K, after closing the doors 1, becomes a convenient oven for halting, on a small scale, and when the doors are ope: and the cover of the openingf is removed, the chamber may be used for frying, broiling, or boiling, while the contents of a vessel placed over the opening" K,above the tlue J, (after the withdrawal of the cover 111,) may be maintained in a boiling or nearly boiling condition; in fact, the stove is an economical disscminator of heat, and, at the sanic time a cheap and serviceable cooking stove tor-small families, For the-cabins of vessels, and For other places where a more costly store would be out of place.

We claim as our invention, and desire to secure by Letters .Pnteut- The cast-iron body But the stove, the upper portion et' which has a number of inclined ilat sides, and the lower portion of which is cylindrical, in combination with the ring or ledge W, and with the cap F, cylindrical casing H, oven-chamber K, and fines L and J, the whole being arranged substantially as and for the pnrpose described.

In testimony whereof wclmve signed our names to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
